Chapter 235: What does a mere ninja need the Gedo Mazo for? How can this be allowed?
On the other side of the ninja world.
After their battle, Hanzo the Salamander was unable to defeat Afei, but Afei needed to materialize if he wanted to kill Hanzo.
However, setting aside Hollowfication, Tobi's raw strength is no match for Hanzo.
Previously, the nuclear weapon in their possession, the Nine-Tails, was also lost to Konoha due to Tobi's negligence.
Afei was defeated and fled to Amegakure.
Forced to leave Amegakure, they fled north to the Land of Frost.
"I'm so angry! Where is Hanzo the Salamander's conscience?"
"How dare they be stabbed! Everyone who has been stabbed deserves to die!"
Ah Fei said angrily. He, who always liked to joke and have fun, was quite angry at this moment.
The pitcher plant White Zetsu, standing to the side, sighed slightly, "Ah Fei, never mind. Anyway, the immortal only told you to play freely. Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war."
"What should we do then? Go back to Mount Myōboku? My sage assessment will be considered a failure."
Ah Fei sat helplessly on the rock.
The pitcher plant White Zetsu shook its head: "You may not know, but there's a new development in the ninja world. Madara Uchiha is not dead, and he has mastered the Gedo Mazo and successfully extracted the White Zetsu."
Upon hearing this, A-Fei was startled.
"How so? Madara Uchiha possesses the Gedo Mazo?"
Ah Fei immediately asked.
The pitcher plant White Zetsu nodded: "Yes, Madara Uchiha used the Gedo Mazo to prolong his life."
Ah Fei's expression changed!
"What would a mortal like him need a demonic statue of a heretic?!"
"How can this be allowed!?"
"Doesn't the great immortal care?"
Ah Fei asked three questions in a row.
Previously, it was he and Black Zetsu who controlled the Gedo Mazo.
He naturally knew that this was the White Zetsu's lifeline.
If something goes wrong with this thing, all the White Zetsu will be finished.
He didn't even know what the urge to defecate felt like, so when he heard that Madara Uchiha, that madman, had mastered the Gedo Mazo, he was naturally furious.
"Don't be impatient. The Great Sage certainly won't give the real one to Uchiha Madara. That Gedo Mazo is a fake. What I mean is, we can infiltrate Uchiha Madara's side."
"The pitcher plant White Zetsu said."
Ah Fei thought for a moment and decided it was a good idea: "Alright, let's do it that way then."
A mountain cemetery.
Beneath the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path
Three white-haired old men were sitting below, relying on the demonic statue of the heretic to prolong their lives.
The three of us!
The three old men were naturally
Madara Uchiha, Tobirama Senju, and Izuna Uchiha.
"The three of us are getting old and need the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to prolong our lives. I'm afraid we won't be able to fulfill our dreams while we're still alive. What I mean is to cultivate successors and lay out the pieces."
"I will transplant my Rinnegan into him, and then he will revive the three of us. At that time, with the strength of the three of us, the ninja world can be pacified, and our ultimate dream can be realized."
Madara Uchiha spoke in a deep voice.
Uchiha Izuna had no objection.
Although I'm not sure if my older brother's path is right or wrong.
However, if his older brother insists on leaving, Izuna, as his younger brother, will fully support him!
Tobirama Senju tapped the edge of the stone table lightly with his fingertips, then nodded thoughtfully: "Madara, so you found it?"
Madara Uchiha slowly shook his head.
"Ordinary bodies simply cannot withstand the immense power of the Rinnegan; those who can withstand its devastating backlash are extremely rare."
"Even seasoned adults might not last half a moment, let alone the infant I'm looking for."
Madara Uchiha paused, his tone filled with desperation: "I've placed all my hopes on the Uzumaki clan."
"Only their innate vast chakra and immortal, powerful life force might be able to give birth to offspring worthy of these eyes."
"in this way...."
Tobirama Senju nodded, his expression suddenly becoming more serious.
"White Zetsu's secret report has just arrived. The entire Land of Whirlpools has been besieged by several neighboring ninja clans. Kirigakure is secretly supplying them with provisions and weapons, adding fuel to the fire, and reaping the benefits."
Tobirama Senju spoke calmly.
Before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Izuna's brows furrowed sharply, and his eyes instantly hardened with frost: "The Land of Whirlpools is in trouble, and Konoha is just standing by and doing nothing? What is Hiruzen Sarutobi doing?"
Konoha and Uzumaki were blood allies for generations. Even though Uzumaki severed ties with Konoha during the First Shinobi World War in order to protect itself, Hashirama Senju later personally visited Uzumaki Village to sincerely rebuild diplomatic relations between the two countries.
From both a moral and logical standpoint, Konoha has no reason to stand idly by.
"Forget it, Izuna, let's not worry about those things. As long as it doesn't affect our plans, nothing else matters."
Madara Uchiha slowly reminded Izuna.
Uchiha Izuna looked reluctant. Although he was now behind the scenes, he had once been the Hokage, and he was still worried about the village making the wrong decision.
"I understand, brother."
Uchiha Izuna sighed softly.
On the other side, Konoha Village.
Jiraiya arrived at the Hokage's office.
"Old man, I want to ask you something."
Jiraiya entered and immediately began to speak.
Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly put down his pipe: "What's wrong? Jiraiya, I was just about to go call you guys."
"Old man, I want to ask about that 'ten thousand times' thing."
Jiraiya took a deep breath and asked.
Hiruzen Sarutobi raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Manji, this kid is an inheritor of the Will of Fire. He and I are the only two people in the village who are proficient in all five elemental energies. A Konoha genius!"
Jiraiya frowned. If even his teacher said that, then it probably wasn't some kind of illusion.
After all, Jiraiya couldn't imagine what level of illusion magic could be effective against his teacher.
Then it can only be a problem with your own memory.
Jiraiya rubbed his head: "Old man, I don't know why, but I have absolutely no memory of that Wanji in my mind."
"It's as if that 'ten thousand times' just appeared out of thin air..."
Jiraiya said helplessly.
I checked with people along the way, and they all remembered it a thousand times.
Then there's only one possibility.
My memory is indeed faulty.
"Hehehe... Jiraiya, is this a side effect of your Sage Mode training?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile.
It's obvious they didn't take it seriously.
Jiraiya shook his head with a wry smile: "Maybe it really is my problem. I'm starting to wonder if I've fallen into a parallel world."
"Alright, Jiraiya, stop reading those erotic books. There's a mission here that needs your help. I'm planning to assemble a five-person team to support the Land of Whirlpools!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up.
Jiraiya's expression turned serious upon hearing this; he himself had been reading the newspaper recently.
Knowing that the people of Konoha's old friends, the Uzumaki clan, are in dire straits.
Konoha naturally needed to take action.
"Who are the members of that five-person team?"
Jiraiya asked.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had already prepared a list with a smile on his face.
"Manji, Sakumo Hatake, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade, form a five-person team to support the Land of Whirlpools!"
